The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, Office of the Inspector General, audited the Washington State Department of Commerce (State). Our audit objective was to determine whether the State disbursed Homelessness Prevention and Rapid Re-Housing Program (HPRP) grant in accordance with American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 requirements. The State paid for HPRP services for ineligible participants and participants whose eligibility was not supported. In addition, the State made a duplicate payment to one of its subgrantees for HPRP. We recommended that HUD require the State reimburse its HPRP $3,435 from non-Federal funds for one ineligible participant and either provide supporting documentation for the participants lacking adequate documentation or reimburse its program $166,785 from non-Federal funds for those affected participants. We also recommended that HUD require the State reimburse its HPRP $7,034 from non-Federal funds for the duplicate payment to its subgrantee.
